ColdZyme launches with new flavor and new product claims

August 26, 2019

Other press release

Enzymatica is now launching strawberry as its new flavor for ColdZyme® cold spray and also introducing two new product claims – soothe sore throat and alleviate common cold symptoms. Strawberry flavored ColdZyme will be available in the majority of pharmacy chains in Sweden beginning in late August and it will be on the shelves of the remaining pharmacies from early October.

Many have requested a new flavor that appeals to both young and old, and now it is here! Enzymatica is expanding the ColdZyme family with ColdZyme Strawberry 20 ml. Studies and market surveys have shown that 20-25% of respondents prefer a flavor other than our current menthol flavor. The new flavor will be launched in Sweden and Denmark at the end of August, with product roll-out planned in other markets where ColdZyme is sold over the next few years.

ColdZyme has also received extended product claims stating that in addition to preventing and reducing the duration of colds, ColdZyme can also soothe sore throats and alleviate common cold symptoms.

“The new product claims are based on the successful results of our 2018 prospective, single-blind, randomized multicenter study in Germany. These results strengthen the documentation for ColdZyme as a safe and effective treatment for colds,” says Fredrik Lindberg, CEO of Enzymatica.

The German multicenter study was carried out at six centers in Germany during the 2018 cold season. The study included 400 participants who were randomly asked either to initiate treatment with ColdZyme at the first cold symptoms, or not to start any treatment. A total of 267 people with confirmed colds were evaluated in the study. The results from the study strengthen ColdZyme’s intended use of reducing the duration of colds, while also broadening its clinical benefit by showing that ColdZyme significantly reduces cold symptoms, soothe sore throats, improves quality of life and reduces the need for concurrent use of symptom-relieving medication for colds.
